Not quite a throttle it seems Shane, but power on demand is possible. The following post by member andrewelectricbike tells you how to get push-button power when you want it without pedalling:

However, if that doesn't suit, the Giant Suede was sold in the USA with a throttle fitted so the controller may have other connections for that.

You may get some information from one of the US agents who sold the Suede when it was current, here's one you could mail:

If not, try Giant in the UK, here's the contact webpage for you:

I can't help you with your throttle question Shane as flecc has already given you the link I thought of, but I'm glad to see that someone else is still riding a Suede. I'm into my sixth year on mine.
